With more than two hundred photographs - many rarely seen and some never before published - this is the most comprehensive collection of Ansel Adams' photographs of America's national parks and wilderness areas. For many people, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, and other iconic American wildlands exist in the mind's eye as Ansel Adams photographs. The legendary photographer explored more than forty national parks in his lifetime, producing some of the most indelible images of the natural world ever made. One of the twentieth century's most ardent champions of the park and wilderness systems, Adams also helped preserve additional natural areas and protect existing ones through his photographs, essays, and letter-writing campaigns.Edited and with commentary by Andrea G. Stillman, the foremost expert on Adams' work, this landmark publication includes quotations by Adams on the making of numerous photographs and essays by Wallace Stegner, William A. Turnage of The Ansel Adams Trust, and journalist and critic Richard B. Woodward. This is a must-own for Ansel Adams fans and all those who, like Adams, treasure America's wilderness.

Armed with a camera and a fresh cache of film and bankrolled by a Guggenheim Foundation grant, Robert Frank crisscrossed the United States during 1955 and 1956. The photographs he brought back form a portrait of the country at the time and hint at its future. He saw the hope of the future in the faces of a couple at city hall in Reno, Nevada, and the despair of the present in a grimy roofscape. He saw the roiling racial tension, glamour, and beauty, and, perhaps because Frank himself was on the road, he was particularly attuned to Americans' love for cars. Funeral-goers lean against a shiny sedan, lovers kiss on a beach blanket in front of their parked car, young boys perch in the back seat at a drive-in movie. A sports car under a drop cloth is framed by two California palm trees; on the next page, a blanket is draped over a car accident victim's body in Arizona. Robert Frank's Americans reappear 40 years after they were initially published in this exquisite volume by Scalo. Each photograph (there are more than 80 of them) stands alone on a page, while the caption information is included at the back of the book, allowing viewers an unfettered look at the images. Jack Kerouac's original introduction, commissioned when the photographer showed the writer his work while sitting on a sidewalk one night outside of a party, provides the only accompanying text. Kerouac's words add narrative dimension to Frank's imagery while in turn the photographs themselves perfectly illustrate the writer's own work.

Born and raised in Mississippi and Tennessee, William Eggleston began taking pictures during the 1960s after seeing Henri Cartier-Bresson's The Decisive Moment. In 1966 he changed from black and white to color film, perhaps to make the medium more his own and less that of his esteemed predecessors. John Sarkowski, when he was curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art, called Eggleston the first color photographer, and certainly the world in which we consider a color photograph as art has changed because of Eggleston.From 1966 to 1971, Eggleston would occasionally use a two and one quarter inch format for photographs. These are collected and published here for the first time, adding more classic Eggleston images to photography's color canon.

More than any other artist, Walker Evans invented the images of essential America that we have long since accepted as fact, and his work has influenced not only modern photography but also literature, film and visual arts in other mediums. The original edition of American Photographs was a carefully prepared letterpress production, published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1938 to accompany an exhibition of photographs by Evans that captured scenes of America in the early 1930s. As noted on the jacket of the first edition, Evans, photographing in New England or Louisiana, watching a Cuban political funeral or a Mississippi flood, working cautiously so as to disturb nothing in the normal atmosphere of the average place, can be considered a kind of disembodied, burrowing eye, a conspirator against time and its hammers. This seventy-fifth anniversary edition of American Photographs, made with new reproductions, recreates the original 1938 edition as closely as possible to make the landmark publication available for a new generation. American Photographs has fallen out of print for long periods of time since it was first published, and even subsequent editions--two of which altered the design and typography of the book in small but significant ways--are often available only at libraries and rare bookstores. This version, like the fiftieth-anniversary edition produced by the Museum in 1988, captures the look and feel of the very first edition with the aid of new digital technologies.Walker Evans (1903-1975) took up photography upon his return to New York in 1927, following a year in Paris when his aspiration to become a writer withered in the shadow of Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Joyce. In 1935, Evans was commissioned by the Farm Security Administration to photograph the effects of the Great Depression in the Southeast. During this time he took many of the photographs that appeared in his collaboration with James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941), a book which has become a defining document of that era. Evans joined the staff of Time magazine in 1945 and shortly thereafter became an editor at Fortune, where he stayed for the next two decades. In 1964, he became a professor at the Yale University School of Art, where he taught until his death in 1975.

cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills, A Series Of Black-and-white Photographs Created Between 1977 And 1980, Is Widely Seen As One Of The Most Original And Influential Achievements In Recent Art. Witty, Provocative, And Searching, This Lively Catalogue Of Female Roles Inspired By The Movies Touches A Vital Nerve In Our Culture. Sherman Plays And Stages All Of The Roles Herself, With An Acute Eye For Costume, Setting, And Pose - And With Uncanny Poise. As Andy Warhol Said, She's Good Enough To Be A Real Actress.in 1995 The Museum Of Modern Art Purchased The Entire Series From The Artist, Preserving The Work In Its Entirety.this Book Marks The First Time That The Entire Series Has Been Published As A Unified Work. Sherman Has Arranged The Sequence Of The Pictures, And Has Written A Personal Essay About Their Making. To The Original Sixty-nine Film Stills She Has Also Added A Seventieth, From A Roll Of Film That For Some Years Was Lost. publishers Weekly sherman's Provocative And Much-discussed Untitled Film Stills Series, Created Between 1977 And 1980, Is Collected For The First Time In This 9.5 X 11.25 Volume From Moma, Which Purchased The Entire Set Of 69 Shots In 1995. Sherman's Mysterious And Perplexing Portraits Should Not Really Be Called Self, Since Sherman Appears Solely In The Guises Of Others, Donning The Clothing, Wigs And Makeup Of Various Female '50s And '60s Film Types (the Forgotten Wife, The Boozy Hussy, The Working Girl, Etc.) And Elevating The Art Of Playing Dress-up To A Whole New Level. In Her Disarmingly Honest Introduction To The Book, Sherman Says Of The European Film Stars Like Simone Signoret, Sophia Loren Or Jeanne Moreau, From Whom She Drew Her Inspiration, What I Was Interested In Was When They Were Almost Expressionless, A Rare Occurrence In Posed And Artificial Publicity Shots. But While Sherman's Photographs May Initially Resemble Film Stills, Their Grainy, Dodgy Quality (sherman Says, I Didn't Care Much About The Print Quality; The Photographs Were Supposed To Look Like They Cost Fifty Cents); Her Disturbingly Blank Expression And Chameleon-like Ability To Disappear Into Character; And The Backgrounds Of Empty New York City Streets And Rundown Lofts (in Some Ways, The Photos Act As A Historical Archive Of A Time When A Less-gentrified New York Functioned As A Giant Playground For Artists) All Conspire To Give Necessary Dissonance To The Myths Sherman Explores. Sherman Began Making The Series At The Age Of 23, And It Soon Established Her As A Major Voice In The Contemporary Art Scene, Adding A Much-needed Female Presence In What Is More Often Than Not A Hyper-macho Field. In The Process Of Questioning The Portrayal Of Women, Sherman Questioned The Art Of Portraiture Itself And Its Uneasy Place In 20th-century American Society, Opening A Different Path On Which To Proceed.

When Martin Parr's 'The Last Resort' was first published and exhibited in 1986, it divided critics and audiences alike. Some saw it as the finest achievement to date of colour photography in Britain whilst others viewed it as an aberration. In hindsight, there is little doubt that it transformed documentary photography in Britain and placed Parr amongst the world's leading photographers. A highly collectable edition of a book that is now considered a classic.

Afterword by Annie Leibovitz.Annie Leibovitz: Portraits 2005-2016 is the photographer's follow-up to her two landmark books, Annie Leibovitz: Photographs, 1970-1990 and A Photographer's Life, 1990-2005. In this new collection, Leibovitz has captured the most influential and compelling figures of the last decade in the style that has made her one of the most beloved talents of our time. Each of the photographs documents contemporary culture with an artist's eye, wit, and an uncanny ability to personalize even the most recognizable and distinguished figures.

This classic—both playful and poetic—is reissued with striking new duotone reproductions.

Published by Aperture in 1982 and long unavailable, Stephen Shore's legendary Uncommon Places has influenced a generation of photographers. Among the first artists to take color beyond advertising and fashion photography, Shore's large-format color work on the American vernacular landscape stands at the root of what has become a vital photographic tradition. Uncommon Places: The Complete Works presents a definitive collection of the original series, much of it never before published or exhibited. Like Robert Frank and Walker Evans before him, Shore discovered a hitherto unarticulated version of America via highway and camera. Approaching his subjects with cool objectivity, Shore's images retain precise internal systems of gestures in composition and light through which the objects before his lens assume both an archetypal aura and an ambiguously personal importance. In contrast to Shore's signature landscapes with which "Un-common Places" is often associated, this expanded survey reveals equally remarkable collections of interiors and portraits. As a new generation of artists expands on the projects of the New Topographic and New Color photographers of the seventies--Thomas Struth (whose first book was titled Unconscious Places), Andreas Gursky, and Catherine Opie among them--Uncommon Places: The Complete Works provides a timely opportunity to reexamine the diverse implications of Shore's project and offers a fundamental primer for the last thirty years of large-format color photography.

Cathedral Of The Pines Presents Gregory Crewdson's First New Body Of Work In Over Five Years. The Series Marks A Return To Crewdson's Classic Style Of Storytelling Via The Single Image, Using Light And Color To Create Newly Intimate, Psychologically Charged Imagery. This Body Of Work Marks A Time Of Transition For The Artist, Including The End Of His Marriage And A Retreat From New York To A Remote Home And Studio In Western Massachusetts--a Period Of Time During Which Crewdson Chose To Remain Socially Withdrawn, Instead Committing To Daily, Long-distance, Open-water Swims And Cross-country Skiing On Wooded Paths. Cathedral Of The Pines Is Named After One Of These Trails, Deep In The Forests Of Becket, Massachusetts, The Site Where He Found The Inspiration To Make These New Pictures. It Was There That He Felt Darkness Lift, Experienced A Reconnection With His Artistic Process, And Moved Into A Period Of Renewal And Intense Creative Productivity. The Photographs Are Accompanied By An Essay By Alexander Nemerov, Who Addresses The Work In Relation To The American Past, Focusing In Particular On The Way The Images Draw Space And Time Down To Ceremonial Points, In Which All That Ever Happened In These Places Seems Crystallized In His Tableaux, As If The Quiet Melancholy Of Crewdson's Scenes Gathered The Unruly Sorrows And Other Little-guessed Feelings Of People Long-gone Who Once Stood On Those Spots. -- Publisher's Description [photographs By] Gregory Crewdson ; Essay By Alexander Nemerov. Cathedral Of The Pines Was Published To Accompany An Exhibition Of The Same Name At The Gagosian Gallery, New York, January To March 2016.

Fred Herzog Is Known For His Unusual Use Of Colour In The Fifties And Sixties, A Time When Art Photography Was Almost Exclusively Associated With Black And White Imagery.

The Combined Effect Of Images By Nathan Benn, While On Assignment With National Geographic, Of His Home State With Charming Anecdotes Creates A Delightfully Vivid, Passionate, And Subjective Look At What Adds Up To A Love Letter To The Sunshine State. 'a Peculiar Paradise: Florida Photographs' By Nathan Benn Shows Its Subject--benn's Homestate--at The Dawn Of The 1980s, During A Time When Florida's Only True Constant Was Change.

This Increasing Cultural Diversity (miami's English-speaking Caucasian Population Was In Free Fall, From 84% In 1950 To Just 12% By 1990), And The State's Innate Peculiarity Is Captured Here With The Keen Sense Of An Anthropologist And The Glint-in-the-eye Of A Local.

Doug DuBois: All the Days and Nights, the artist's first and long-awaited monograph, resonates with diaristic immediacy, offering a potent examination of family relations under stress and what it means to subject personal relationships to the unblinking eye of the camera. Each photograph is rich with color, nuanced gestures and glances, enveloping the viewer in a multivalent, emotionally tense world. DuBois began photographing his family in 1984, prior to his father's near-fatal fall from a commuter train and his mother's subsequent breakdown and hospitalizations. While these events set a narrative backdrop to his work, the emotional freight is carried by the details as described by the artist: "The pallor of my mother's skin, the glare of my father's gaze and the tactile communion between my sister and nephew. These details constitute a complex and resonant picture of family ties..." More than 20 years later, DuBois' project has developed in remarkable ways.

In Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names, Magnum photographer Alex Webb displays his particular ability to distill gesture, color and contrasting cultural tensions into a single, beguiling frame. He presents a vision of Istanbul as an urban cultural center, rich with the incandescence of its past--a city of minarets and pigeons rising to the heavens during the early-morning call to Muslim prayers--yet also a city riddled with ATM machines and clothed in designer jeans. Webb first visited Istanbul in 1998, and became instantly enthralled: by the people, the layers of culture and history, the richness of street life. But what particularly drew him in was a sense of Istanbul as a border city, lying between Europe and Asia. "For 30-some years as a photographer, I have been intrigued by borders, places where cultures come together, sometimes easily, sometimes roughly." The resulting body of work, some of Webb's strongest to date, conveys the frisson of a culture in transition, yet firmly rooted in a complex history. With essay by the Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Orhan Pamuk.

Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs.Digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design - first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures.Now published in sixteen languages, The Photographer's Eye continues to speak to photographers everywhere. Reaching 100,000 copies in print in the US alone, and 300,000+ worldwide, it shows how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder.
